The moon above which the [Death Star II]
? was constructed in the
Star Wars movie [The Return of the Jedi]
?. Home to Ewoks, the cute (some say too cute) furry denizens who help the [Rebel Alliance]
? defeat the forces of the Empire
?. Interestingly, all life on Endor was probably snuffed out shortly after the end of [Episode 6]
? due to the immense mass of debris raining down on it after the second Death Star's destruction. See

The moon's name comes for the Elven word for Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings, probably an allusion to the similarity between the moon's tall foliage and the mallyrn of Lothlórien?.
